Greyhound
Corrected an error on the page which suggested that the animal depicted on the coin was a wolfhound, not a greyhound. The animal is clearly a greyhound. Added a reference to Master McGrath, a famous greyhound. Master McGrath being the greyhound on the sixpence is a well known folk story in Waterford, however, there is no evidence to suggest this is the case. Nevertheless, I think this merits a mention in the article, in part because its possible that someone may come along and shed some light on why Metcalfe chose a greyhound - there could be a link!
